Hey Jackal, welcome to our online community. Sorry to ask, but I think it is a good question: to what do you attribute your multilevel disc degeneration? Stated differently, what do you think were the top three factors that are creating the lumbar DDD?
I am not convinced that DDD is always based on one factor. We've talked about this for years; but some times, when I ask, people will bring up various risk factors:
- accidents: automobile, falling, assaults, sports;
- infection: Lyme disease, unexplained childhood illness, hospital procedures (even Botox or steroid injections);
- poor diet, lack of exercise;
- other: congenital or unusual pathological conditions that affect the spine.
OK, 'nuff said. Have to go back to admin role.
